Meet Kristen Rheinlander

Kristen Rheinlander is the newest face that you will see when you come into our Fort Worth Office.  She is managing our Light The Night event in Fort Worth. Kristen has been personally affected by Leukemia and comes to LLS with a strong background in non profits. Below she answered a couple questions about herself:

1. Tell us about your nonprofit background.
I have been involved in numerous nonprofit organizations volunteering for The USO, Defenders of Freedom, Canine Companions for Independence and the Ronald McDonald House of both Fort Worth and Dallas. Volunteering, and now ultimately having my career in nonprofits, brings so much gratification and joy to my daily life. I am so fortunate to be able to help others on a daily basis and really makes every day at the office feel rewarding.


2. What attracted you to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?

Leukemia has personally effected my family, and when the opportunity arose to work for an organization that is so strong within the Fort Worth Community, I knew my heart was with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society North Texas Chapter.


3. What do you think is so interesting about working with teams and individuals in a fundraising capacity?
I love that everyone VOLUNTEERS their time and money to such a worthy cause. As volunteers they have their own personal and unique reason to support our mission, yet the overwhelming goal to bring light to the darkness of cancer. While they could choose to look at cancer as such a dark and lonely space, they instead come together and inspire each other and become a light in each other’s lives.


4. What are you most looking forward to at the Light The Night Walk in Fort Worth?

I am excited to see the Fort Worth community come together and spread hope and joy to one another. While many of them will come as stranger, they all come together for one common mission, and I look forward to seeing friendships formed and fun being had throughout the night.


5. What do you want people to know about you?

I come from both a personal and professional background in sports, where I felt something was missing, so I turned my career to nonprofits. I have always had a heart for helping others and I look forward to making my passion my purpose in the fundraising sector of the nonprofit world. I am thrilled to work for such a worthy cause and can already tell The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will make my life and heart even that much greater.

You can find Kristen in and out of our Fort Worth office.  She can be reached via email at kristen.rheinlander@lls.org or phone at 817-288-2634.  Welcome to LLS!  We are so excited to have you on board.

Introducing Marla Wilson

The North Texas Chapter is proud to introduce you to Marla Wilson, the newest member of the chapter's leadership team.  Marla is the Senior Director responsible for the Light The Night Walk and the Saint Valentine's Day Luncheon & Fashion Show.  She comes to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) with extensive nonprofit experience.  Below she answered a couple questions about herself:

Tell us about your previous nonprofit experience. 
I come to LLS from Honey Shine, Inc. where I served as the National Executive Vice President.  Honey Shine, Inc. is a mentoring and educational program for school-age girls, based in Miami, FL.  Before Honey Shine, I served as a Senior Director with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Campaign, and the Executive Director for the March of Dimes.   I am also the founder of the 1 Percent Circle, an exclusive consulting group that matches high profile clients with mission-related initiatives.

I attribute my passion for service to my parents who taught me the importance of being a positive contributing citizen.

What drew you to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society? 
The LLS mission and research success driven by this organization are very important to me.  I also have a couple personal connections to blood cancers.  I have a family member currently battling acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and another family member in treatment for lymphoma.

What have you learned about LLS supporters in North Texas during your brief time with LLS?
I have been very pleased to discover that North Texas supporters are very passionate and highly educated on the importance of philanthropy and volunteer leadership.

What are you most looking forward to with the Light The Night Walk? 
I am coming into Light The Night at a very exciting time.  The Dallas and Fort Worth Walks are both adding some really impactful new features to the Walk experience and both are on the brink of explosive growth.  I am happy to be here for both.

What are you most looking forward to with the Saint Valentine’s Day Luncheon & Fashion Show? 
I am looking forward to expanding the exciting possibilities that will bridge generational philanthropy from traditional donors to young professionals.

Marla is the proud mother of twins, Malik and Mijani, both of whom are currently in college in Texas.

If you would like to personally welcome Marla to North Texas, she can be reached via email at marla.wilson@lls.org or phone at (972) 996-5919.

Raising money for LLS has never been easier or more delicious! 

Chipotle and LLS partnered together a couple years ago and in that time has raised more than $50,000 in North Texas to help fund the research so critical to find cures.  

We are sweetening the deal:
There are a number of ways you can earn $5 Chipotle gift cards:
1. Share our event page on facebook and invite all of your friends to meet you for lunch or dinner on the 16th.
2. Take a picture of yourself at Chipotle and share it on the Facebook event page.
3.  Share the North Texas Chapter's Facebook posts about the event on your page.

The gift cards will be drawn at random.  

We hope you help us spread the news of this delicious fundraiser and plan to eat at Chipotle on February 16th.

"I have been supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) since 2006.  My support started by participating in the Society's Team in Training sports endurance program.  Over 10 years I have completed approximately (10) 100 Mile Cycling events, (5) Triathlons (4) Marathons all the while raising over $60,000 for the LLS mission of finding a cure for blood cancers.  Over the last 3 years I have also served on The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Board of Trustees. 

In 2009 I was diagnosed with Follicular B Cell Lymphoma a non-curable blood cancer.  Click on THIS VIDEO  to learn about my cancer journey and how it has enriched my life.   Learn more about me and my fundraising efforts on my MWOY fundraising page."

For the last eight years, I have dedicated myself to working to help fund the research of the best and brightest blood cancer researchers around the world.  As an AML survivor, I see the investment LLS is making into defeating this incredibly deadly disease through their Beat AML initiative and am honored to be able to contribute to the effort to cure the disease that tried to take my life ...twice!

Meet the Coach: Bandi Kapka

Brandi Kapka is not new to Team In Training but she is dedicated to finding ways to keep the weekly trainings fun and exciting for her participants.  She is the co-coach for the Fort Worth marathon team during the SPRUMMER season.  She answered a couple of our questions so you can get to know her better.

What brought you to Team In Training?  
Back in 2009 after first moving to Fort Worth, I found myself wondering if I could ever run or walk any kind of distance event. Well, after watching one of my friend's journey, a real couch potato type, through Team In Training, I decided if she could do it, so could I!  So I signed up, scared to death, thinking I would definitely have to walk.  There was no way in the world I thought God would give me the gift to run a half marathon.  I was wrong... and after that 1st event, I was hooked!

Why did you want to become a Team In Training coach?
To be honest, I'm not sure.  Funny huh?  I knew I loved training with the team.  I also knew they had quickly become my second family and the best friends ever.  So of course, I became a mentor first.  Then the opportunity was presented to me to coach, and I thought "Why not?"  It was sort of a given that I would take that next step.  I"ve been told I have a natural teacher like personality, but with Team in Training, it was more about encouraging others to achieve something I once never thought was possible for myself.  Not to mention a pretty great common goal that we were all running, and fundraising for together.

What should people know about your coaching style?
I'm silly, quirky, and unusually loud and funny on early Saturday mornings.  I often have been told that I am so passionate about Team in Training in general, that I will just go on and on with coaching tips and constantly pushing team mates to go a little further, or give it a little more.

What advice would you give to somebody who is intimidated by fundraising?  
I'd say.... "Fundraising? Of course it's intimidating!"  But if you lean on your coaches and mentors that have experience for support, there is no way it should become too intimidating to try.  Start early, get it over with fast, talk to EVERYONE you bump in to, and most of all, don't be afraid to hear a NO THANK YOU.

What advice would you give to somebody who is concerned about training for an endurance race?  
I'd share my experience and struggles but always mention the TEAM aspect to the participant. I think for most, the biggest encouragement comes from the people you are training with.  Leaning on them for support and company makes each training easier.


Best training/race tip you have ever received.
You've heard "don't try anything new on race day" right?  Well, how about "don't try anything new on race WEEK"!  Stick to what you know and is familiar in those final days before a race.  And absolutely, 100%, don't do what I did once (and only once).... Don't donate blood one week before your event!

It's not too late to join Brandi and the TEAM this season.  Register today at www.teamintraining.org/ntx

Introducing Man Woman of the Year

Click here to watch the video.

The North Texas Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is proud to introduce a new signature campaign this Spring: the Man and Woman of the Year (MWOY).  Nominated candidates vie for the title of Man or Woman of the Year during a ten-week fundraising blitz.  The candidates compete both for their personal Honored Heroes but also in honor of two local children who are blood cancer survivors.  These children are named the Boy and Girl of the Year.

Each MWOY candidate forms a fundraising committee that will help them during the ten week fundraising campaign.  It is up to the candidate to form the committee based on their needs.  In other chapters, many candidates create a campaign chair position, a publicity position, an outreach position and others that will help elevate their campaign and create fundraising opportunities about their groups of friends, business partners and acquaintances.

The MWOY campaign starts with a kick-off party where all of the candidates and their campaign teams come together and celebrate the start of this incredible experience.  They will break off and work independently until the midpoint party when the candidates and their teams will regroup.  The 10 week campaign culminates in an exciting gala where candidates can submit silent auction items and the proceeds benefit their fundraising efforts.  That night North Texas Man and Woman of the Year will be announced to much fanfare.

The top local fundraisers in North Texas will then be submitted to a national MWOY campaign where they will compete against the winning candidates from LLS chapters across the country.  The top candidates will then be named the National Man and Woman of the Year and their pictures will appear in a full page ad in USA Today.

Learn more about the North Texas Man and Woman of the Year at www.mwoy.org/ntx

There are already a number of candidates who have committed to participating the in the inaugural MWOY campaign and we look forward to introducing you to them over the next several months.  Check back to meet the 2015 class!

Happy Holidays and Welcome to the Fairmont Hotel Gingerbread House.

Leukemia is cancer in my blood

Cancer cells are the bad guys.
